Nine hundred and twentieth eighth chapter Bo Shi's trouble
Summer arrives unknowingly.
And summer is a season of wealth for the entire Andong Protectorate.
At the end of spring in March, the ice and snow in the distance have not yet melted.
The entire Huaihua County was already in a state of excitement.
Countless people came from all over to Huaihua to prospect for gold, carrying various tools on their backs and traveling in small groups, regardless of the dangers of ice and snow, and went deep into the wilderness.
Of course, the gold mining teams of noble princes, big shots, and nobles are even larger.
Hundreds of people often travel in groups to the Jinsha River, which is rich in gold sand.
And Bo Shilai, the governor of the Anton Protectorate, said that when the ice and snow melted, his work became a hundred times heavier.
Especially this year.
The work of Anton's Protectorate was beyond the limit of what he could bear.
First, he has to help brothers Chen Xu and Chen Jiao wipe their butts.
Before last winter, brothers Chen Xu and Chen Jiao, under the banner of "lost the patrol", conquered Xianbei without saying a word and made the king of Xianbei surrender.
As a result, the Xianbei King presented the ‘Jade Dragon’ and the suspected ‘Hetu Luoshu’ information.
Now, the Jade Dragon is already in front of the Emperor of Chang'an.
But for this Hetu Luoshu, we must start looking for it.
As for brothers Chen Xu and Chen Jiao, who subdued Xianbei and made King Xianbei surrender, who gets the credit, who gets more credit.
This is another trivial, complex, and even tricky task.
Fortunately, news came from Chang'an not long ago: the Empress Dowager of the East Palace issued an edict to take refuge in the west wing of the Yongshou Palace, and will no longer be involved in politics.
This made him feel a little less stressed.
I could use a louder voice to make those two funny brothers less noisy.
But, it's actually not of much use.
After all, the Empress Dowager is still alive, so she must be given face.
You can't say that just because someone issued an edict and ignored government affairs, you can bully someone's grandson at will.
If the Empress Dowager gets angry, who can bear this responsibility?
Except for these bad things.
The Andong Protectorate's work this year is also very heavy.
In addition to the various settlement groups and the various enfeoffed states, there is still more than half of the land within the territory of Anton. One is a wilderness without even a name.
Officials and troops need to be dispatched to inspect these areas, and boundary stones and government offices must be set up to name them. At least they must also set up a sign and write a name, even if there is not even a single person in the area now.
Bo Shi had been engaged in this work before the establishment of the Anton Protectorate.
As of today, only half of the work has been completed.
In other words, at least half of the territory of Andong, especially the huge and outrageous Huaihua County, has not been mapped, has no boundary stones, and has no defined boundaries and names.
The Han family just used a huge thick line, and even the emperor didn't know where he drew it, and drew these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers into his own bowl with his eyes closed.
The emperor made such a move, of course he was very happy.
Open the map and draw thousands of miles of territory with your eyes closed.
When you die and report to your ancestors, your face will be very glorious.
only……
When the emperor moves his mouth, his ministers run away and break their legs.
It has been two years since the opening of the current map. Huaihua County and the entire Andong Protectorate, including the Hao people, Zhenfan Kingdom and South Korea, have tried their best to explore only half of the area.
but……
Bo Shi looked at the map hanging in the middle of his official office.
On the map, a new river appeared.
This is a brand new river system that was only discovered last summer.
It is majestic and powerful, rushing forward, seeming to flow to the other world.
According to reports from the expedition team, the local climate is very cold and activities can only be carried out in summer, and even in midsummer.
But it is rich in products and densely covered in forests and swamps.
more importantly……
Large-scale fish migrations similar to those in the Blackwater River have also been discovered locally!
This is unprecedented news.
Before this, the entire Anton Protectorate believed that the migratory fish in the Blackwater River was unique in the world.
It is God's gift and reward.
But now, in a brand new river system that is completely different from the Heishui River, there are also large-scale migratory fish schools. According to reports, migratory fish schools are even larger than the Heishui River.
This broke Anton's inherent impression.
But at the same time, it also brings enthusiasm for exploring distant places.
Cold is not a problem!
Having lived in Huaihua for so long, the Han Dynasty troops and officials who migrated here in the early days have become accustomed to the severe cold climate here, and they also know and learn ways to keep warm and avoid the cold in winter.
The emergence of firehouses and fireplaces for the cold world made it possible for people to stay indoors throughout the winter as long as they had enough food and fuel.
Just waiting for the wealth of summer and autumn.
Moreover, last autumn, Chen Jiao invited more than a dozen craftsmen and two descendants of Wuhou from Chang'an, and they began to design and build a brand-new "Guihua" castle near the remote Raoleshui.
It is said that after completion, even if there is heavy snow outside, there will not be much impact on the interior of the city, which is enough to ensure that residents can still live safely indoors in the extremely cold weather.
So cold is not a problem at all.
As long as they make money, the husbands and merchants of the Han family are not afraid of losing their heads, but they are also afraid of the cold?
Even if the place is really not suitable for human habitation.
You can also choose to depart in the spring, arrive in the summer, and return in the autumn.
It's just a little troublesome.
What's the trouble for making money?
Now, the troubling question for Bo Shi is what should be done with the river with the migratory fish?
Is it like the Jinsha River, left to the world to develop together?
Or will the Anton Protectorate swallow this piece of fat on its own?
To be fair, Bo Shi felt that there would be no problem at all for the Governor of Anton to eat this piece of fat.
You know, the Louchuan Yamen opened the seine net next to Xinhua City every summer and autumn, and fished out the fish. The annual tribute fish dried thousands of dans to Chang'an, and sold thousands of dans, turned into gold and copper coins, and finally became its own
’s small treasury.
Governor Anton could only watch others eat meat, and he could only pick up scraps.
I’m already unhappy!
If you have the opportunity to find such a cornucopia yourself, many things in the Anton Protectorate will be easier to handle.
However, after thinking about it, Bo Shi finally shook his head.
The Anton Protectorate is destined not to be able to eat this piece of fat.
Whether it's the giant nets needed for fishing, the large boats, or the permission granted by the emperor.
For the Anton Protectorate, it is very difficult to obtain these resources.
That's right, today's society is very supportive of reclamation and development in the Andong area.
But that is only limited to the areas that can currently be developed and settled.
In other ice and snow worlds, the emperor seems not to want to waste energy.
Didn’t you see that even Jinsha River has given up?
so……
Or we can only learn the story of Jinsha River and expose its existence to attract people to go there.
If the above two things are just thorny and troublesome.
Then, the enfeoffment and reclamation groups that are now spread all over Huaihua are the real trouble!
Look at those who granted favor to the country!
The Prime Minister Chang Pinghou, the Shaofu Taohou, the chariot general Dongchenghou, the special senator Zhang Wuhou Dou Guangguo, Pingyang Hou Cao Shou, there are many big shots, great nobles and giants.
And those small princely states such as Fuyang and Shenze are blooming everywhere.
The relationship between them was not bad in the past.
However, as development deepens and expands, conflicts will inevitably arise.
These guys are so smart...
I don’t know who took the lead. In the past two years, they began a quiet movement to move the boundary stones.
Often dozens of people, taking advantage of the night, secretly led by officials or retainers, would move the originally fixed boundary stones dozens of steps forward.
A few dozen steps a day will add up to hundreds of steps a month.
The Anton Protectorate had nothing to do with them.
Because Huaihua County is so big, there are actually no clear maps or boundary markers in many places. In other words, even if they move a few miles outward, there is actually nothing they can do against them.
In the early days, Bo Shi even turned a blind eye to these actions.
But now it doesn't work.
Because they moved too playfully.
As a result, many areas that originally had sufficient buffers are now intertwined with each other.
Then, these guys started to move each other's boundary stones.
They also quietly brought people over at night to move the opponent's boundary stones back and move their own boundary stones forward. Some of them were even embarrassed to see them. It was obvious that their own territory was not developed yet. They thought about moving the boundary stones all day long and competed.
territory.
The result of this is obviously that it will only lead to fighting.
Summer has just entered this year, and there are already more than a dozen armed fights prohibited by the Anton Governor's Office.
However, more armed fights cannot be stopped.
For example, the Feihu Army fought with the Juzhu Army.
Does the Anton Protectorate dare to intervene?
Not to mention the time when Xiliu Camp, Yulin Guard and Hu Ben Guard were competing with each other.
Mr. Qiu Ba has a very bad temper.
When it comes to fighting with weapons, it's exciting.
Did the officials dare to interfere? They even beat the officials!
Juzhu and Feihu, in particular, have recently sent a group of retired officers injured in the Mayi Battle here to guide the settlement.
People kept saying, "Someone has shed blood for the country, and someone has been wounded for the emperor. If you scumbags dare to touch labor and capital, labor and capital will kill your whole family!"
It’s all meat on a hob!
Thinking about these things, Bo Shi is also dizzy!
"Fortunately, a certain person is about to return to Beijing to report on his duties..." Bo Shi thought in his mind: "At that time, these matters can be reported to the emperor, and the emperor can be asked to judge in person, or send a censor, or send a giant to adjust..."
Bo Shi could have controlled these things.
After all, he deserves the Emperor's Day.
But the problem is that he has no skills at all.
It is impossible for the dignified Governor Anton to mediate and provoke fights all day long.
Therefore, the enfeoffment of the country and the reclamation regiment were all strategies thought up by the emperor and his think tank.
Just ask them to clean up their hands and tails!
But before returning to Beijing, Bo Shi still has one problem to deal with: Does the Hetuluoshu exist? Where is it? (To be continued.)
